Hello all, Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but I would like to know how to change the font size of my desktop fonts. I have searched Google and the Mint forums but none provide answers for my setup. I am:Linux Mint Maya64bitCinnamon 1.4Theme: I will post later if necessary. Thinkpad X200

I have tried using Cinnamon Settings but while I can edit other font settings, I cannot edit those for the desktop. I installed and ran dbconf-editor, navigated to Org, Cinnamon, Nautilus, Desktop but the font setting is greyed out and I cannot edit. I've also tried editing the css file for my theme but there isn't a class or id (from what I could tell) labeled as desktop that might style the desktop fonts. So that's where I'm at right now. Any help is appreciated.

Open dconf-editor and navigate to>org>gnome>nautilus>desktopYou will see 'font' which is the fourth item down the list on the rightClick the space next to it and enter font and sizeEx- Droid Sans 9Close the editor

Twodogs - Thanks for replying to my question. Unfortunately, upon re-reading I see I didn't accurately describe the actions I'd already taken. I mistakenly said I navigated to Org -> Cinnamon -> Nautilus -> Desktop when in actuality I had navigated to the the path you mentioned Org -> Gnome -> nautilus -> desktop. The "Font" section is grayed out. You can see in the attached image.

Hi.Just click the space next to 'font' right between the checked box above and the one below. It looks greyed out, but it will let you enter text. After you type in text (ex: Sans 9) just hit enter and you should see it immediately.
